This fantastic hotel is a real gem, situated in the heart of lovely Shrewsbury and would make a great base for explorers enjoying all the local amenities. The Lion Hotel reflects the environment; quirky, an architectural gem filled with ancient and beautiful furniture pieces, an historic idiosyncrasy still resplendent in faded charm. Not for the fussy or fastidious traveller. This would be for Hogwarts lovers and those seeking individuality. Fabulous comfortable half-poster bed and luxurious bathroom with masses of piping hot water. No breakfast available, but super delicatessens within a minute's walk gets you up and out too! Very reasonable parking fee and dogs welcome. We will come back as often as we are able.

It was in an excellent location for what we wanted.
The room was very clean and had been recently decorated with new carpet too

Liked the history of the hotel, but the room we were in was poor, the carpet was worn the curtains had been cut to make them shorter and had not been stitched just left with a raw edge that was fraying. Disappointed in our room would go to shrewsbury again but not the Lion hotel.
Carpets were worn and torn in places The whole interior is in need of brightening up and refurbishing.
I paid and booked for bed and breakfast but was told they have not done food since April. Actually I was quite pleased as I dread to think about the state of the kitchens !
Perfect town centre location.
Kitchens closed since 3rd May ( Not informed by Expedia as asked by hotel) had we been informed we would have cancelled and booked somewhere else, so no breakfast. Reason given by friendly staff was owner wanted room only option. We did get ยฃ6.50 x 2 reduction and paid ยฃ5 for parking . Hotel was very dated with wooden floors and worn carpets to stairs which needed a good dust. I wouldn't stay again.
Our room, bedding and towels were clean although very noisy with traffic at the front of the building. The general areas within the hotel were not clean and were shabby. Kitchens had closed in May so no food available at all. Although our room was clean we were not happy with the rest of the hotel. Would not stay here again.
Good room - clean, spacious, light, and comfy bed.
BUT the hotel has sadly seen better days. For a start - NO breakfast! Kitchen had been shut down. The whole thing felt like a sinking ship. And such a shame - a beautiful building, historic, lovely rooms downstairs, all deserted. The staff behind desk seemed like the only people around besides a few people staying in the rooms. What a shame. Won't be staying there again, although they were very polite and helpful. That made a difference. But nothing you can do if the owners, whoever they may be, see fit to run a place into the ground.
Old. Dated, rusty windows,online photo s do ot reflect a standard double room. Bathroom smelt damp !

The room was clean and the location is central. There is no breakfast provided since May which was disappointing. The room was tired and old decoration.

Hotel is very dated and worn.
Staff are very friendly.
No restaurant facilities available and limited Bar stock.
The property once upon a time was superb.....
Now , no one cares . Theyve made too much money from refugees...
This was terrible. Will not be back ... what a sh** hole .. bad experience ..
No wonder air bnb is on the up .

No Breakfast available during my stay because hotel owner
had closed kitchen and made staff redundant.
General decor and condition of bedrooms and public areas dated and in need of TLC.
Not a place I would recommend to friends and family in its current state.
Not a lot, although staff were friendly
Whole place really run down.
No food or drinks
Worst bed everโฆ,, springs protruding
TV no bigger than a small computer screen
WiFi weak signal
Very dilapidated, needs huge investment to bring it up to any sort of standard. Threadbare carpets, corridors smell of drains. Staff obviously embarrassed/demoralised. Such a shame as it could be a magnificent building.
